i remember Visakhapatnam station faced the same issue during 2014 when many trains like Amaravati, Hwh Tpty was bypassing...but the situation changed later after repeated requests from ppl..
Vijayawada is facing a similar issue now...IR not using nearby stations like Gunadala, Ramavarappadu, Madhuranagar etc..and bypassing trains like gowthami, coconada and this one is like indirectly asking ppl to travel by road, especially to Hyderabad where the demand is evergreen and high as always...

even am seeing ppl asking for Vskp duronto, Vskp Garibrath to bypass BZA...saving on time is agreed...but it is definately a loss of option for short planned passengers from BZA at the cost of 30 mins speedup which itself is not sure as no train bypassing Bza now was given a speedup i believe
